Roads are fine, range is questionable

Keep in mind that there is a snowfall warning for K-Country today

Might want to get a tetanus booster before you go walking through that minefield of e-waste as well. The chance of getting a puncture wound is a lot greater then zero.

Managed to get a short trip in today before the storm hit. Roads were in good shape. Took my roommate out for his first time with his first rifle, a Savage MkII 22lr. He was getting that itchy trigger finger feeling so even with blowing wind and the fact that he couldn't see if he was hitting anything, he had a good time. We were joking that the .22lr rounds might be getting blown back at us, the wind was coming down range so hard. Met some new shooters there too that hopefully join AO. We traded shots on different rifles and it was a great day! Thanks to the guys, if you are members on here for the help on the shotgun break in on the shotgun range!

There are lots of negative comments towards Sibbald but I've had a lot of great experiences there and met a lot of great people. If you go with a friendly attitude, clean up after yourself and a little extra and help anyone that needs a hand, you generally have a great experience.
